The state of microbial taxonomy is chaotic at best. In part, bacterial
taxonomists have retreated from standardized higher taxa (e.g. Garrity et al.,
2001; Garrity et al., 2003; etc.) and have refused to create proper class and
phylum names. Garrity et al. (2003) claim that they wish to avoid conflict
with botanical nomenclature and, therefore, have designated phyla and classes
with informal names. To add to the confusion, Garrity et al. (2001, 2003,
and 2005)
usually give the same names to their informal classes and phyla.
Indeed, the only treatment that attempts to standardize the names of higher
taxa in a formal way is Margulis and Schwartz (1998). The difficulty with
their system, however, is that it is not consilient with recent molecular
phylogenetic trees. Also, their adherence to the 5-kingdom system flies in
the face of the fundamental three-domain system that has been with us
since Woese and Fox (1977).
